Sports Academy Update

The Sports Academy has been busy during Term 1 with our regular timetable. This includes weekly skills sessions with all of our coaches.

We are extremely lucky to be blessed with the following coaches this year; Stacie Gardiner and Ramayer Gourley (Netball), Mike Santo and Heath Johnson (Basketball), Peter Boyes (Soccer), Allan Chandler, Boyd Bailey, Nathan Boyd, Scott McDougal and Rhett McLennan (AFL) and Malcolm Swinley and Cooper Alger (Strength and Conditioning).

By the end of the term all Year 7 and 8 students should have had a 1-on-1 nutritional consult with Danielle Purvis from Standout Nutrition and Health.

Students have maintained good GPAs and attendance, and we are looking forward to Term 2, which will include some guest speakers and hopefully a couple of excursions.

Recently, two of our Sports Academy students, Ricky Mentha and Cooper Belsham, featured in an article in the Latrobe Valley Express. Well done to both students on their sporting achievements - we look forward to seeing what 2024 brings!
